Date: October 16, 2025 To: Angela Baker, Finance Director From: Melissa Johnson, Early Education Director CC: Candy Scott, Executive Director Subject: NC Pre-K Audit • Purpose: To provide information on the requested review documentation for 40 child files for an NC Pre-K audit. • Details: While gathering requested information for an NC Pre-K audit, it was discovered that 11 of the 40 requested children’s files did not have review information in our online application portal, Survey Apply. The applications were processed following all guidelines and procedures, and supporting documentation is available. These documents include income spreadsheets, scorecards, and the date entered in the APP system. The review information, however, is not available in the online application database, and the reason for this has not been determined. Jennifer Williams, Office Manager, and I have both tried to recover this information without success. The requested files missing this information are Kever Pinto, Jackson Millsap, Brixton Beale, Zoey Matthews, Amir Salimov, Nolan McCowan, Rex Klein, Caleb Bernabe, Joseph Holland, Ocean Davis, and Bryson Bunch. • Outcome/Action Taken: Discovery of this possible glitch in the online application system has led us to put additional processes in place to ensure that this information is available upon request in the future. In addition to maintaining a saved copy of the income spreadsheet and scorecard on our internal server, we will now begin saving a copy of the review for each application that is processed. We are in the process of updating our NC Pre-K guidelines. This change will be reflected in these guidelines.
